ENTERTAINMENTS.

GAIETY THEATRE PICTURES* TO-NIGHT. HANDS UP. The thrillng adventures of Raymond Griffith as a rollicking, care-free Confederate spy and a member of General Robert E. Lee’s staff, ending with his effort to find a way put of hiisi greatest quandary—that of deciding between the loves of two' beautiful girls—are the. high lights of the silk hat comedian’s newest starring picture “Hand Up! ’ whiph is to be shown to-night. SATURDAY NIGHT. THE CRACKERJACK. Johnny Hines- certainly earns the sobriquet of “Crackerjack” in his latest picture of the same name, to be shown to-morrow night. Aside from stopping a revolution, in a South American country, Johnny in the role of Tommy Perkins gives our advertising geniuses a host of clever stunts in his campaign tn put Perkins’stuffed pickles on the map. Johnny^'cleverness is not only productve. of i apidfire results-, but the innumerable number of laughs he puts ijito the production makes it one of the most highly humorous pictures. UNDER THE RED ROBE. Stanley Weyman’s famous romance of France in the time of Louis XIII and Cardinal Richelie.u, “Under the Red Robe,” is- given a most vivid and realistic picturisatipn. This picture will also be screened to-morrow night. It is certainly one of the most lavish and picturesque of recent photoplays. The settings are massive and gorgeous, a.nd the costumes, jewels, and ornaments rich and glowing. MONDAY NIGHT. SKINNERS DRESS SUIT. “Skinner’s Drejss Suit,’’ to be shown on Monday night, is a rib-tickling tale of a young married couple, the Skinners, who live in the suburbs. They are just the sort cf married children who live next door to you and mt, v e ry much in love with one another, with “Honey” under the positive belief that her husband is. the greatest businessman of all time. PARTNERS AGAIN. Also to be shown on Monday night is. a Potash a.nd Perlmutter picture, “Partners Again.” Nee.dless, to say, this, picture is another of those rollicking business comedies wherein the famous partneis, portraye,d by George Sidney and Alexander Carr, engage, in a distinctly different line of business.
